Silversun Pickups - Substitution

[@stephenabbott1129]

One of the most under appreciated alternative bands of all time.

[@sandiegobailey]

Not by me. I get goosebumps when I hear them after not having heard them in a while.

[@andymurray5045]

No doubt

[@ooooowwussthaataseloik2866]

They sound horrible to me. I want to see into your mind and understand where bad taste is born. I love you, it's going to alright. We can get past this, one day.

[@Mack98421]

Been listening to them a lot recently(never listened to them before) and I completely agree. They're much better than Smashing Pumpkins, Cranberries, The Shins, Nirvana, The Pixies or really any comparable band. They've got the best elements of the best indie bands. Incredible dynamics, drumming, guitars, singing, lyrics and overall creativity. There's nothing average, boring or generic about them. Every song I've heard by them is so well crafted and creative.

[@megashedinja9700]

I listen to them daily. I'm doing my part!

[@lizfoster2794]

I just fully realized what this song means. It's the torture someone goes through when they believe they are going to be hurt by someone. When they have been hurt before and don't want to be hurt again. When they are expecting the person that they love to find a substitution for them, a replacement. The battle of the self, the negative inner voice, the feeling of being out of control. This song to me is about a person who fully expects to be hurt and let down. Such a good song, and so important that we have art like this to encapsulate such a specific emotion that a lot of people deal with.

[@guntherbeckman1257]

Nailed it

[@bendevine3438]

I really like your interpretation of this song never thought of it when i listened to it but it gives it a different meaning to me now and i like the song even more a 4 year relationship was ending when this song came out only girl I would have married

[@bradleystewart7464]

Of course, thanks,cheers

[@johnkeller5163]

Bingo!! Hence the cynical eyes and conviction of the ladies here in the video who don't want the chair taken away from them (metaphorically and literally in the game in the video). Nobody wants to be humiliated feeling like a fool in a broken relationship.

[@davidmuro992]

Were u even paying attention? It's about musical chairs . JK good interpretation 🤙🏼

[@VectorAero]

The dirty looks, the sass, the straight faces after every round, so fun lol. Would love to see the bloopers.

[@shikapow64421]

chick bass player, left handed drummer, unique singing, this band is officially BOSS

[@Vanillabear4am]

Don’t forget about how much depth and tone the keys give their unique sound.

[@chrisclancy5619]

90's alt fan here and these guys are one of a handful keeping the genre alive.

[@SisPackAbs]

yeah they kept that late 90's/early 2000's vibe

[@epicmetod]

this looks from late 2000s

[@mynameamike]

I had the honor of seeing these guys back in 2010 when they opened for Muse. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life

[@robertneal196]

Eye opening, for sure yeah

[@joeypadgett7895]

They have killed me since I saw them about the same time!

[@KennethLongelc]

Am sure!

[@johnkauppi7078]

Did they? Didnt know that.Then Australia is a long way from anywhere.

[@rikotheman2629]

That’s what kicked off my love for them

[@searcherT]

This is one of those rare bands where talent is spread throughout the band. No lack of originality Definitely Rock!!!

[@jasoncarmody3614]

Be listening to this for over a decade It gives me a feeling of nostalgia and pulls at the strings of my heart

[@Chubzdoomer]

This tune has such a smooth flow. This band is so underrated it's not even funny.

[@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530]

It is kind of funny.

[@nadia3130]

I'm obsessed with them

[@keithhinchcliffe5629]

they were never 'rated'. maybe under-appreciated?

@@keithhinchcliffe5629 Yeah, that's what I meant.

[@disturbedcarrot]

Originally landed here for the music, but keep returning for the ladies!

[@jeffcutsforth3272]

This is one of the most incredible bands ever to exist. Every song is perfection

[@trevoC132]

Thats because they sound like Smashing Pumpkins.

[@mctwistx1248]

One of the most under appreciated alternative bands of all time, only has 9 million views, must be 9 billion views

[@BOJACKARY]

I've noticed that the only videos from them that have a view power over 500k is under the record label channel. And is a music video. 17mil 9mil ext and they are all under the channel of the label. Not the actual bands channel. It's like if a video didn't exist it would have less views. But they have so many other great songs and very very few views at all! Great band

[@JKaiserable]

Gives me 2009 Nostalgia... 2007-2011 was such an awesome time for indie.

I didn't realize how amazing the drummer is....he makes this song

[@bikeman123]

He doesnt seem to know how to adjust his cymbal height though

[@4waySaline]

One of those bands where each member is absolutely vital. They're just brilliant, in studio and live.

[@ericmagnuson266]

Just 3 bars in you can always recognize this band. They are amazing

[@MrTatiMr]

This man's voice is something to die for.

There's a vulture perching right off screen And it's bitter and whispers chaotic things And it reached in quick ain't it worrying it's so easy to see, everyone can agree, stop listening I know you've heard it before But then it wasn't enough You don't wanna be held back from the substitution I know you've seen this before And now enough is too much You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes I'm sorry You're a marionette in the center of All the twisting strings coming from above It may seem too deep to recover from it's so easy to see, everyone can agree, just let it go I know you've heard it before But then it wasn't enough You don't wanna be held back from the substitution I know you've seen this before And now enough is too much You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes I'm sorry I'm sorry When the voices start spinning just be aware I have brought enough stones for us to share That one's grinning that one's burning, aim for the throat Let him choke on the stones that we are to throw It's the great downfall Not the overthrow If you shoot them down It'll make you soar When reactions turn into hurricanes And the middle course seems a little tame Whether full or empty it's all the same it's so easy to see, everyone can agree, you're not to blame I know you've heard it before But then it wasn't enough You don't wanna be held back from the substitution I know you've seen this before but now enough is too much You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes I'm sorry.

This is my favorite song on the album! But the whole album was amazing and Silversun Pickups have such a unique sound! Love EMMMM!!!

[@MoxieBear55]

I'm a 90's kid and there will never be anything like it. Same has to be said for my 20's in the early 2000's. The music. Fashion😉. And VIDEOS. The last of em. What a time to be young and alive.

[@MrSlayingsanta]

honestly I think the drummer is the coolest out of all of them. In every one of their videos he's always just destroying those drums and doing his own thing. Dude's a badass.

[@mikeking683]

Yep, he adds that coolness!

[@joeomalley2835]

The most amazing version of musical chairs ever. The songs pretty good, too.

Back here again 10 years later and the song still cranks. Time difference did make me wonder how all those amazing ladies today and how cool would it be to every ten years get the exact people and re-do the video and watch the ageing process.

[@jaylyaa5687]

I saw them live in Anchorage Alaska when I had just moved there and knew nobody. Went by myself and it was the best choice I've made in a decade.

[@lkgrave4959]

That was a great show.

[@Twitch_Moderator]

*WOW!!! I started listening to Silversun Pickups in 2006. 18 years has passed already? They remind me of stuff I was listening to in 1993, 1994. Like Smashing Pumkins. But on a lower level of loudness and distortion.*

[@MrHeathpacoffice]

Saw them in concert at The Rave in Milwaukee. They were insanely good live. Put on a great show.

[@norwester7018]

Silversun Pickups rock... They're keeping the 90's style alive (I was there) and and every album is just chock full of great music. Love this band, they've got a sound and it speaks to me...

[@patrickstarpower8840]

Nor Wester I don't think it's 90s it's just alternative rock songs this sounds like a 2001 song

[@vonn4017]

yeh...no..they dont sound anything like the 90's

[@backwater_j]

They pay homage to the 90s style (I was also there) but there's a current edge to it as well, particularly in the lyrics.

[@ericwilson6994]

Was this your plan? -God

Yeah no they have a 90s sound... regardless of when they started up.

[@rollinstn9377]

Competition was tough. Every player gave it their best. However, there could only be one winner, and the girl in the violet dress displayed outstanding technique and an aggresive mentality when it came to taking the trophy home. In the aftermath of the show, she went into detail about how hard she had been practicing for this sports event and the physical hardache she experienced due to extreme training sessions. No doubt, you could tell through her performance the results of her training. I´m excited to see her advance in her career and represent America in the next international event, probably the Olympics.

+Matt Kagemage I gotta disagree, Panic Switch is awesome, of course, but I think he's far more radical in this vid... looks like Animal from the Muppets (the REAL, 80's Muppets, not this new Hipster version of 30 Rock with Puppets). I'd kill to have a drummer like that to play with....
